Two of the Premier League's out-of-form teams battle at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday as Brentford host Sheffield United.

Brentford's winless recent run has seen them being pulled into the battle against relegation as although they are currently 15th, they are just four points clear of the bottom three with six games remaining.

Sheffield Utd have been doomed for a while and it's a matter of time before their relegation is confirmed as they've recorded just 16 points so far this campaign.

Here's how the squads are shaping up heading into the game.

Brentford Team News and predicted XI

Josh Dasilva, Rico Henry, Ben Mee and Aaron Hickey are all definite absentees due to injury while the fitness of Christian Norgaard, Ethan Pinnock and Kevin Schade will be assessed on Saturday morning.

Thomas Frank has a decision to make surrounding Ivan Toney as the England striker was dropped for the previous game against Aston Villa which finished 3-3 after he failed to score in seven starts. Both Bryan Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa scored in that one, so both would feel aggrieved if they were replaced with Toney.

However, this is effectively Brentford's biggest game of the season so far, so Toney will probably get the nod.

Brentford (3-5-2): Flekken; Jorgensen, Ajer, Collins; Roerslev, Jensen, Janelt, Damsgaard, Reguilon; Mbuemo, Toney.

Sheffield Utd Team News and predicted XI

Chris Wilder has a laundry list of injuries, too, as Chris Basham, John Egan, Max Lowe, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Rhian Brewster, Tom Davies, George Baldock and Daniel Jebbison are all out.

Sheffield Utd earned a 2-2 draw versus Chelsea in their last game but Jack Robinson was forced off due to injury. Wilder said this week that he will give the defender every chance to be involved against Brentford, so he may have to play through the pain here.

Ben Osborn will likely be recalled down the left at the expense of Auston Trusty.

Sheffield Utd (3-5-2): Grbic; Holgate, Ahmedhodzic, Robinson; Bogle, Souza, Norwood, Hamer, Osborn; Brereton Diaz, McBurnie.
